Safety requirements for batteries and battery rooms can be found within Article 320 of NFPA 70E
Employers must consider exposure to these hazards when developing safe work practices and selecting personal protective equipment (PPE). That is where Article 320, Safety Requirements Related to Batteries and Battery Rooms comes in.
Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Model codes are standards developed by committees with the intent to be adopted by states and local jurisdictions.
The model fire codes outline essential safety requirements for both safeguarding Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and ensuring the protection of individuals. It is strongly advised to include the items listed in the Battery Safety Requirements table (Fig 3) in your Hazardous Mitigation Plan (HMP) for the battery system.
Battery rooms, especially those housing large energy storage systems (ESS), are critical components of modern infrastructure. However, they also pose significant fire risks due to the chemical nature of batteries, particularly lithium-ion (Li-ion) and lead-acid batteries.
In layman's terms, a standard provides minimum requirements and/or instructions in agreement within the industry for common reference. Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
